After the ball was over, Josiah sat in the carriage heading to the Demon Realm's portal.
"Mr. Josiah, is this really all you need?"
Mrs. Sizer sat opposite Josiah. Her gaze fell on the two scrolls and a medal in Josiah's hands. The scrolls were branded with a magical wax seal, and the emblem was the national emblem of Falosi.
"It's enough."
Josiah opened one of the contracts. It was so long that when Josiah opened the wax seal, the other side of the contract fell under the carriage.
The content of the contract was the price that Josiah had to pay to screen the movie in Falosi's theaters.
Although Josiah had mentioned the concept of 'box office' to Krendor III, Krendor III helplessly expressed that he could not accurately calculate the ticket sales of every Falosi theater.
In this era where bills were still recorded with pen and paper, it was a little too idealistic for Josh to think that he could get a share of the box office. Those theater owners could easily falsify the accounts to avoid getting a share of the profits.
Therefore, Josiah adopted a one-time buyout system, which was to turn the 'raw crystal' with the movie's image into a clearly priced product.
This method was no different from the Blu-ray CD on Earth, but the Blu-ray CD in this world was not that cheap.
There were more than 200 theaters in Falosi. If Krendor III wanted to screen 'Avatar' in every theater, he would need to buy more than 200 copies.
Josiah did not choose to use Falosi's currency for this transaction. Instead, he chose to use resources.
Resources included iron, food, and various raw crystals …
"This should be the most generous His Majesty Krendor has ever been." Mrs. Sizer browsed through the contract that Josiah showed her. Looking at the densely packed list of products, Mrs. Sizer could not help but marvel at the value brought by the movie.
From an outsider's point of view, Josh had only used a few hundred ordinary Origin Crystals to exchange for these strategic resources, which were enough to build a small city.
However, the things inscribed in the Origin Crystals increased the value of these Origin Crystals by tens of millions of times.
"Actually, I think your king is a little stingy." Josiah did not agree with Mrs. Sizer's comment.
"Stingy … His Majesty Krendor III was willing to give you and your country more help, but you chose to reject it."
Mrs. Sizer could not help but sigh when she thought of this. At that time, Krendor III proposed a lot of bargaining chips that were far more tempting than these resources. No leader of a state could reject the bargaining chips, but Josiah rejected it.
"Are you referring to sending Falosi's alchemists to the Demon Realm to build an alchemy workshop and help the Demon Realm mine minerals? This is indeed a tempting bargaining chip. "
Josiah recalled the 'beautiful future' that Krendor III talked about at the ball. If Falosi really helped the Demon Realm build an alchemy workshop, then the Demon Realm would definitely be able to get out of the predicament of the Middle Ages in a short time and officially step into the industrial revolution.
"Unfortunately, I have already obtained these bargaining chips in Noland."
Josiah was not in a hurry. Josiah's elder sister, Cecily, had already sent a messenger to Noland to study. Josiah believed that with the prophet's learning ability, it would not take long for her to master the so-called 'core technology'.
And these resources were just a small foundation that Josiah had laid for the Demon Realm.
"It seems that I'm too anxious."
Mrs. Sizer sighed softly after listening to Josiah's answer.
"Perhaps we should put the topic of interests aside, Lady Sizer." Josiah put away the contract and waved his hand to open the magic net interface. "I wonder if your king is satisfied with the 'parliament' function of the text message?"
"I think … His Majesty Krendor should be quite … satisfied."
When Josiah asked about this, Mrs. Sizer showed a rare helpless smile on her face.
She directly showed her magic net interface to Josiah. In the text message account that Mrs. Sizer had just set up, other than her daughter's friend, the most prominent one was a parliament called 'Falosi Parliament'.
This parliament had been set up an hour ago. It was a little toy that Josiah had gifted to the Falosi King.
However, Krendor III's enthusiasm for this little toy far exceeded Josiah's imagination.
'Minister Dinia! I order you to bring all nobles who are qualified to join the Falosi Parliament into this Weave Parliament! '
An account named Kerendo III popped up in the group chat of the 'Falosi Kingdom' and gave an order to one of the few people in the group chat.
'Understood, Your Majesty.' Another account with the name of Count Dinir quickly responded.
'Very good! Where's Dias? Where's Dias now? Let me send him off before he heads to the Iron Nation! 'Krendor III's message speed was unimaginable.
In the blink of an eye, several messages from the king popped up in the group chat from Josiah.
'I'm … at … my own … mansion.'
On the other hand, Minister Dias's reply was much slower when Krendor III asked him about his whereabouts. He could not even type out a complete reply, and it seemed a little intermittent.
'I hope His Majesty Krendor III doesn't use this method of communication to replace the real parliament.' Lady Sizer looked at the messages that kept popping up in worry. Just from the speed of Krendor III's replies, it was enough to feel the king's fervor in sending messages.
'Why do I feel like it's possible?'
Although Josiah did not have much contact with Krendor III, with the king's personality, it was very possible that he would use messages to replace the real parliament in a moment of happiness.
Lady Sizer did not deny Josiah's words. Ever since she met Josiah, many important things in her life had been replaced by things created by Josiah.
Although she had chosen to accept it calmly, she still felt a little sad when she thought about it.
At this moment, the carriage slowly came to a stop. Josiah pushed open the carriage door.
"Please tell His Majesty that I will prepare the resources for exchange in a week."
Josiah walked down the carriage after leaving this sentence.
For this resource trade, Zenas had specially built a portal in a building close to the Falosi's capital market.
A few curious merchants were already communicating with the people in charge of this place, hoping to go to the Demon Realm to do business.
Although there were only five or six merchants in sight, it was definitely a good sign.
The guards quickly recognized Josiah's identity and let Josiah directly into the portal.
The portal led to the former filming location of 'Avatar'. The simple tavern that Lady Sizer had built was still open even after filming.
